Bauer AsepticDrive

Altra Motion brand Bauer now offers a range of AsepticDrives that have asynchronous motors with a hygienic design that is suitable for the food and beverage industry. In particular, washdown applications.

With a fan-free design and no cooling ribs, the motor has a completely smooth outer casing which is sealed by a matching non-drive end shield. The smooth surface can be cleaned simply and effectively without allowing any pockets of dirt to accumulate.

A stainless steel round connector comes as standard, which allows a quick and simple electrical connection of the motor. This connector contains not only the motor contacts but also those of the thermistors. The hygienic concept is also ensured due to the smooth surface of the connector.

Other features include: easy-to-clean design allowing cleaning agents to drain off completely; dirt traps are avoided; re-infection points avoided around the motor; the fan-free design means no air turbulence occurs; high degree of protection IP 67 as standard (optional with IP 69K); with acid and alkali resistant paint; and motor windings equipped as standard with thermistors and class F insulation.

Suitable for frequency inverter duty, the motor is available in optional solid or hollow shaft in stainless steel V4A (1.4571) and can be easily fitted onto any gear in the BG, BF, BK or BS series.
